 Question:

“Race and Ethnicity Defined” In light of current debates about race, being a biological reality or a social construct, how have

these debates shaped our views about the nature of ethnicity and consequently defined ethnic identity as found in the readings and as

discussed in class?

To what extent, do you think, have these debates influenced the formation of ethnic groupings and shaped ethnopolitical conflicts?
